CRITICAL AND FEMINIST FRAMEWORKS
1. What is one of her contentions? How does she support this?

Seccombe says that a feminist framework uses gender as a central lens and as a key variable in the argument of welfare. She says women have certain experiences because society is organized by gender. Her goal is to show biases and appreciate more women and understand better about women. According to seccome welfare is a women issue because they are vulnerable in society and women are not part of a wealthy group. Also, she says that women make much less money than man. She emphasizes that our society is dominant by males and supported by law, religion, culture and societal norms.


Se supports this by saying that social class, as well as race shape experience of women. She provides a valid example and compares two women from different background and ethnicity  Anne Moody growing up poor and black in the rural south vs. Dorothy Allison a white girls experience growing up in rural southern poverty. She argues that women are abuse sexually, physically simply because they are women providing a reference of the book Against our will; Men, Women and rape (1975) Brownmiller and Dorothy Miller in Women and Social Welfare (1992)
